More Tress art, more concept-ish. I want to focus more on practicing composition at the moment and the Lumar spore seas with their giant moons and vibrant monochrome colours are very enticing for that.
Character scribble time!!!
Cosmere Inktober 12 anchor
Since the last days have been rather busy, just something small for today. The prompt immediately made me think of Tien‘s horse.
Kelsier
Some attempts at the murdering psychopath from The Final Empire. I always had some widely mixed feelings about Kelsier, but then that is what makes him such an interesting character and protagonist.
A mullet was suggested for his hair. I am tempted. Also I am working on making him clearly distinguishable from other main characters in the cosmere - charming blond guys and hawk-faced ones alike.
-------------------------------------------------------------
[ID: The first image shows Kelsier striding through the mists. He is grinning and wearing his Mistborn cloak, its strips are sown cross-hatching in the chest and shoulder part, the loose ends curling around him. In one hands he holds a string purse and in the a other a bloody, glass dagger. The second image is various of sketches of Kelsier, mostly of his head and shoulders and sometimes showing his torso, too. He has blond wavy hair, parted in the middle and his wearing all kinds of attires: loose shirts, vests and mistcloak. I was trying to test out various expressions and angles on him. Smiling: friendly, non-chalant, smirking out from under a hat, fatherly, menacing. More serious: facing of Marsh, solemn and lit from below, and as a skaa worker glaring towards the viewer. The third image is a row the same sketch of Kelsier in a three-quarter profile with different hairstyles: the one he has in the other drawings, a mullet, a regency style short haircut with the hair and sideburns combed forwards, long hair tied to a tail in the nape of his neck with a string, and long, open wavy hair. A small drawing of myself is standing next to these, inspecting them warily. Below that is another row of heads: Marsh, face similar to Kelsier's but slightly squarer and with very short hair, Kelsier, Adolin more round faced and with a short, stubby nose, Wit with more pronounced cheekbones and a very narrow face and Kaladin who has a strong curvature both in his cheekbones and his nose.]
I've been binge-reading through Skip Beat! again last week and couldn't help but to scribble some of the main protagonists. It is always exciting trying to convert manga characters from a style very different to my own. Especially Ren is just hellishly difficult to get right. argh.
Unity part 2 Work in progress 🙃 I love those two together.
Bits and pieces from what I am working on. Very emotional Dalinar and exasperated Odium. Also some fused. And that one sketch that demanded to get turned into a MerDalinar ... 😏
the other son Adolin may be incredibly personable, but one cannot deny that his little brother actually shares the trait of being able to say the right things in the right moments.
